3 + 1

Do you need simple answers for basic questions on faith? Are you looking for a new way to explain Biblical truth to those around you, come along for the ride!

Don't pass up a great value! Many people have had experiences with God, but have not been born again according to The Holy Bible. Many people will say: "I hope I'm going to Heaven" but are uncertain about their eternal destiny. The truth is that we cannot sow seeds of unrighteousness in our lifetime and expect to reap a harvest of peace in eternity! Do you wonder if there is life after death? If someone asks you: How Can I Be Saved, what would you say? What if you meet someone who believes the myth at there are many ways to heaven, how would you lovingly show them Biblical answers to their questions? 3 + 1 is a practical guide on the born again experience. It is a manual of arms for new converts and mature Christian believers alike. Unlike a devotional reader, this book can help you examine yourself, whether you are in the faith or not. Jesus said, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).

Emmanuel Smith is the first of seven children born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. He married Annette Theresa Simms in Jamaica in 1970. They migrated to Canada after they married. While living in Canada he had a Landlord who went to an Apostolic church and every Sunday morning she would invite him to church. He always came up with some excuses as to why he could not attend; however he would send his children. One Sunday his children were performing and his landlord asked him to come see his children perform. He decided he would visit just once to stop her from 'harassing' him. The message that was preached that Sunday morning was taken from Revelation 22:15, the topic was “What in Hell do you want?” The message convicted him as he wanted nothing to do with Hell. He decided to get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ that very same Sunday. When he told his wife she was not pleased with his speedy decision; however approximately two weeks later, she also gave her life to the Lord. Praise Jesus! After having served under the ministries of Bishop F.H.Davy, Pastor Nunes, and Pastor Audley Castro in Canada, Emmanuel and his wife moved to South Florida in 2000 where they began serving under the leadership of Bishop G. Oliver Barnes in Fort Lauderdale. Over the years, he and his wife has served in Sunday School, Prison, Radio, and Evangelism Ministries. God gave Emmanuel a passion for souls. He says: "You cannot kindle a fire that is not already burning in your own soul". His philosophy is: Win The Lost At Any Cost! Jesus said: "As the father has sent me, so send I you. In 2008, the Lord led Emmanuel to begin reaching out to lost souls in Coral Springs, Florida. Together they began the ministry of Apostolic Refuge Tabernacle Church. Presently, Emmanuel S. Smith is the pastor, teacher and radio host of Apostolic Refuge Tabernacle, Inc.
